You're afraid to talk to the club Doc, coaches and parents. Just accept that your child isn't that grea and play somewhere that it's fun for her.
At U16, you should be thinking about college, not changing clubs. Mr freaking helicopter Dad.
My questionto you is how many clubs have you jumped from since lil Mia has been playing? 3-4? Be honest!
Wake up and stop complaining and get your kid to work harder or change sports because at U16, your time has run out to change. Enjoy HS atleast Mr *******!

If you care what your coach thinks about what you or your kid does, either your kid is on the wrong team, or she is bottom-half of the roster (and probably on the wrong team). You are the paying customer people, who cares what people or coaches think! Do you really want to be part of a vindictive organization/coach or with a bunch of sneaky people? Talk and find out what everyone's intentions are so there are no surprises. if your coach is doing things a lot of people dislike, approach him or her with a few parents and explain your situation and see if he has a reasonable response. Perhaps he doesn't realize it and would be willing to change if you tip him off. Overall, the soccer community is very devious ..... probably moreso than other kids sports we have been involved in. If you are on a smaller team that is of good quality, then you should look to keep that together and bring in another player or two that helps your team get even better for the next year. Keeping quiet and hoping you survive another year is not a great strategy and not something you would hope your kid would pick up along the way for when they become an adult (and you would hope they are the one that gets left behind and stuck on a poor team because 4 or 5 starters left and you replaced them with first-year club players from travel). Stop being sheep and talk, you are the paying customer.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostMy misunderstanding. I was seeing U16 and by that age every kid should be thinking about college ID's, showcases and help with connecting to schools. You were talking about leaving the club to another club. That's a bold move at that age group unless your kid is a top 3.
Kids should've moved no later than U15 to be involved for the sophomore year.
Parents need to be realistic about their kids ability and changing teams at that age is not going to help. If it's an abuse situation then I understand but if it's playing time, politics or not liking the coach. Have them speak up to the coach instead of jumping ship. If they jump, they'll lose the next year also for sure.
Step it up and work your arse off and hope an ID will notice.thats your best chance in the process.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostBlah, blah, blah! Shut your enormous yapper! I’m not complaining about anything. You seriously have no idea what you’re talking about. Worry about your own lumbering, big boned daughter and stop giving horrible advice to those on here who actually have kids that can play at the next level.

If there is an issue with a coach then look around ask yourself if you'd be happy with any of the other ones the club has. If yes, the talk with the club about who will coach next year. If necessary get other parents together to talk with the club - nothing gets action like a club worried they will lose multiple families. If the club doesn't have a good group of coaches then it isn't a club you should be with.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostActually no I wasn't talking about older teams or recruiting, just in general. Not sure why you're rambling about recruiting. Team implosions happen at big and small clubs, happened to our family and others I know. However, if many players leave from a big club it's easier for them to fill the roster than for a small or new operation. Yes it becomes harder to move past U15 but it certainly can happen, for the right and the wrong reasons. Each player's situation is different.
What happened to PSE? What happened to DFA? What happened to the Comets?
Clubs implode. Kids get screwed.
Do what you need to to make sure your kid has an option because when you get the bad news email in July, it may be too late to find someplace decent for your kid, especially in the U13-15 ages..
